And inboxes are inundated, as people urge their congressmen to oppose military action in Syria. The phones are ringing off the hook in Congress — and virtually no one is calling in to support military intervention in Syria. At the office of Representative Chris Gibson (R., N.Y.), who represents a swing district, the number of phone calls and e-mails from constituents regarding military action in Syria has “far exceeded the normal volume,” says Gibson aide Stephanie Valle.

Dan Kotman, communications director for Representative Michele Bachmann (R., Minn.), says that Bachmann’s office “has been inundated with phone calls, e-mails, and letters about the situation in Syria.” “The feedback has been virtually unanimous in opposition to military intervention, a position Rep. Bachmann shares,” Kotman explains. “The total breakdown so far is 641–4 against intervention.”
